Comamonas testosteroni KF-1 is a model organism for the elucidation of the novel biochemical degradation pathways for xenobiotic 4-sulfophenylcarboxylates (SPC) formed during biodegradation of synthetic 4-sulfophenylalkane surfactants (linear alkylbenzenesulfonates, LAS) by bacterial communities. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 6,026,527 bp long chromosome (one sequencing gap) exhibits an average G+C content of 61.79% and is predicted to encode 5,492 protein-coding genes and 114 RNA genes.
睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌KF-1是一种模式生物,用于阐明细菌群落对合成4-磺基苯基烷烃表面活性剂(直链烷基苯磺酸盐,LAS)进行生物降解过程中形成的外源4-磺基苯基羧酸盐(SPC)的新型生化降解途径。在此,我们描述了该生物的特征,以及完整的基因组序列和注释。这条长6,026,527 bp的染色体(有一个测序缺口)的平均G+C含量为61.79%,预计编码5,492个蛋白质编码基因和114个RNA基因。
